In this exercise, we use tidyverse (ggplot2, dplyr, etc) to explore the MIMIC-IV data introduced in homework 1 and to build a cohort of ICU stays.

Q1. Visualizing patient trajectory

Visualizing a patient’s encounters in a health care system is a common task in clinical data analysis. In this question, we will visualize a patient’s ADT (admission-discharge-transfer) history and ICU vitals in the MIMIC-IV data.

Q1.1 ADT history

A patient’s ADT history records the time of admission, discharge, and transfer in the hospital. This figure shows the ADT history of the patient with subject_id 10001217 in the MIMIC-IV data. The x-axis is the calendar time, and the y-axis is the type of event (ADT, lab, procedure). The color of the line segment represents the care unit. The size of the line segment represents whether the care unit is an ICU/CCU. The crosses represent lab events, and the shape of the dots represents the type of procedure. The title of the figure shows the patient’s demographic information and the subtitle shows top 3 diagnoses.

Do a similar visualization for the patient with subject_id 10013310 using ggplot.

Hint: We need to pull information from data files patients.csv.gz, admissions.csv.gz, transfers.csv.gz, labevents.csv.gz, procedures_icd.csv.gz, diagnoses_icd.csv.gz, d_icd_procedures.csv.gz, and d_icd_diagnoses.csv.gz. For the big file labevents.csv.gz, use the Parquet format you generated in Homework 2. For reproducibility, make the Parquet folder labevents_pq available at the current working directory hw3, for example, by a symbolic link. Make your code reproducible.

Q1.2 ICU stays

ICU stays are a subset of ADT history. This figure shows the vitals of the patient 10001217 during ICU stays. The x-axis is the calendar time, and the y-axis is the value of the vital. The color of the line represents the type of vital. The facet grid shows the abbreviation of the vital and the stay ID.

Do a similar visualization for the patient 10013310.

Answer:

Since the cjartevents data is too large, I will make a parquet file for the chartevents data and then read it in R, so that I can use it more efficiently in the later procedures.

Q2.2 Summary and visualization

How many unique subject_id? Can a subject_id have multiple ICU stays? Summarize the number of ICU stays per subject_id by graphs.

Answer: Here is the number of unique subject_id:

unique_subject_id <- icustays_tble %>%
  distinct(subject_id) %>%
  count()

unique_subject_id
# A tibble: 1 × 1
      n
  <int>
1 50920

Yes, a subject_id can have multiple ICU stays. Here is the summary of the number of ICU stays per subject_id:

icu_stays_summary <- icustays_tble %>%
  distinct(subject_id, stay_id) %>%
  group_by(subject_id) %>%
  count() %>%
  arrange(desc(n))
head(icu_stays_summary, 5)
# A tibble: 5 × 2
# Groups:   subject_id [5]
  subject_id     n
       <dbl> <int>
1   18358138    37
2   12468016    33
3   17585185    33
4   13269859    30
5   18676703    26

Here is the graph of the number of ICU stays per subject_id:

plot <- ggplot(data= icu_stays_summary) +
  geom_bar(mapping = aes(x = n)) +
  labs(title = "Number of unique subject_id",
       x = "Count ICU stays",
       y = "Count subject_id") +
  theme_minimal()+
  theme(axis.text.x = element_text(angle = 90, hjust = 1))+
  scale_x_discrete(limits = icu_stays_summary$n)
Warning: Continuous limits supplied to discrete scale.
ℹ Did you mean `limits = factor(...)` or `scale_*_continuous()`?

Over 75% of the patient only have one ICU stay.

Q3.1 Ingestion

Import admissions.csv.gz as a tibble admissions_tble.

Answer:

admissions_tble <- as_tibble(read_csv("~/mimic/hosp/admissions.csv.gz"))
Rows: 431231 Columns: 16
── Column specification ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Delimiter: ","
chr  (8): admission_type, admit_provider_id, admission_location, discharge_l...
dbl  (3): subject_id, hadm_id, hospital_expire_flag
dttm (5): admittime, dischtime, deathtime, edregtime, edouttime

ℹ Use `spec()` to retrieve the full column specification for this data.
ℹ Specify the column types or set `show_col_types = FALSE` to quiet this message.

Q3.2 Summary and visualization

Summarize the following information by graphics and explain any patterns you see.

  • number of admissions per patient
  • admission hour (anything unusual?)
  • admission minute (anything unusual?)
  • length of hospital stay (from admission to discharge) (anything unusual?)

According to the MIMIC-IV documentation,

All dates in the database have been shifted to protect patient confidentiality. Dates will be internally consistent for the same patient, but randomly distributed in the future. Dates of birth which occur in the present time are not true dates of birth. Furthermore, dates of birth which occur before the year 1900 occur if the patient is older than 89. In these cases, the patient’s age at their first admission has been fixed to 300.

Answer:

Number of admissions per patient:

admissions_summary <- admissions_tble %>%
  distinct(subject_id, hadm_id) %>%
  group_by(subject_id) %>%
  count() %>%
  arrange(desc(n))
plot <- ggplot(data= admissions_summary) +
  geom_bar(mapping = aes(x = n)) +
  labs(title = "Number of admissions per patient",
       x = "Count admissions",
       y = "Count subject_id") +
  theme_minimal()+
  theme(axis.text.x = element_text(angle = 90, hjust = 1))

plotly_plot <- ggplotly(plot)
plotly_plot

We can see that over 100,000 patients have only one admission, about 35,000 patients have two admissions, and about 15,000 patients have three admissions. Only 15.43% of patients have more than 3 admissions.

Admission hour:

The final labevents_tble should have one row per ICU stay and columns for each lab measurement.

Hint: Use the Parquet format you generated in Homework 2. For reproducibility, make labevents_pq folder available at the current working directory hw3, for example, by a symbolic link.

Q6. Vitals from charted events

chartevents.csv.gz (https://mimic.mit.edu/docs/iv/modules/icu/chartevents/) contains all the charted data available for a patient.

We are interested in the vitals for ICU patients: heart rate (220045), systolic non-invasive blood pressure (220179), diastolic non-invasive blood pressure (220180), body temperature in Fahrenheit (223761), and respiratory rate (220210). Retrieve a subset of chartevents.csv.gz only containing these items for the patients in icustays_tble. Further restrict to the first vital measurement within the ICU stay. The final chartevents_tble should have one row per ICU stay and columns for each vital measurement.

Hint: Use the Parquet format you generated in Homework 2. For reproducibility, make chartevents_pq folder available at the current working directory, for example, by a symbolic link.

Q7. Putting things together

Let us create a tibble mimic_icu_cohort for all ICU stays, where rows are all ICU stays of adults (age at intime >= 18) and columns contain at least following variables

  • all variables in icustays_tble
  • all variables in admissions_tble
  • all variables in patients_tble
  • the last lab measurements before the ICU stay in labevents_tble
  • the first vital measurements during the ICU stay in chartevents_tble

The final mimic_icu_cohort should have one row per ICU stay and columns for each variable.

Q8. Exploratory data analysis (EDA)

Summarize the following information about the ICU stay cohort mimic_icu_cohort using appropriate numerics or graphs:

  • Length of ICU stay los vs demographic variables (race, insurance, marital_status, gender, age at intime)

  • Length of ICU stay los vs the last available lab measurements before ICU stay

  • Length of ICU stay los vs the average vital measurements within the first hour of ICU stay

  • Length of ICU stay los vs first ICU unit
